    The story about Rya and Millicent are the ones that broke me. I, quite literally, feel dissapointed by Elden ring in the sense that "it's not a doomed reality" like Dark Souls, but yet, the npc's stories are even sadders or end even worst than most of the Dark Souls games. There is some weird cruelty in that.

    I think Rya is not special because of her gender, but because she was made through a ritual that lets her assume human form. I'm pretty sure the man-serpents are "Men" as in "Mankind" not as in the gender. They may have been spawned by means other than the ritual.

    So we believe the ritual is the reason she is female. It's synonymous. It's possible the other man-serpents aren't literally "men" but genderless.

    The thing is if I am not mistaken, Rya's birth mother did not willfully engage is such depravity. If I remember correctly, another artifact said that she was indeed curse to seek depravity, which caused her to breed with monsters. This lead her to Ryekard, who needed an army as the knights/warriors that followed him due to his divine right as Demi-God, abandoned/tried to kill him once he became one with the serpent. So with this woman Ryekard decided to breed his new army, but it all went side ways when Rya was born, as her birth mother died giving birth to her, thus ending Ryekard's plan. Both Ryekard and the other serpents blame her for that, and wished to be executed. However she was saved by Tanith to be raised as her child and become useful to her Lord. The seems to be the end of it, but what if it wasnt... Without the cursed woman Ryekard had lost the means to build his army, so he would need another way to keep creating more Snake Soldiers. We kniw that lady Taneth only loved Ryekard after he fused with the serpent, thats why she was loyal to him to the point of devoring his remains in the hopes that he would live on through her. She was so obssesd with Ryekard and the power he wielded as a God devouring serpent, that she would cross any line to do so. What if Taneth only convinced Ryekard to spare Rya, just that she could raise her to become new vessel for Ryekard to keep building his army. After Rya's job as a scout could have been filled by any other faithful to the manner, even Taneth herself. Not to mention that the snake soldiers were watching only over Rya and not any other member of the manner. Perhaps in a way to keep eyes on her, to make sure she wpuld be ready. In the world of Elden Ring incest and r*pe are not uncommon after all. As we essentially see Moghwynn try to corrupt/defile Miquella, just that his new God, the formless mother could have a vessel. I do feel that if the Tarnished had not been summon to volcano Mannor, this might as well have been Rya's fate.

    Theres something that still bothers me, why is Rya considered *unwanted*? If its the case that Rykard spawned the manserpents, wouldnt a female be the only way to expand/sustain that army? It seems like thats the one thing he would really want What is it about the ritual that created her that couldn't be accepted by men OR serpents? She makes it sound like not even Rykard and the other serpents would accept her based on her nature. I get this impression that theres something even more sinister about this story, but I cant tell what it is. Plus theres some weird things with Rya herself. She appears really innocent, but shes really not. Rya is a scout, so she leaves the manor regularly. Her job involves stealth, cunning and no small degree of deception. While shes by no means malicious, she at least not as naive as she comes off, and its not like shes obstructed from talking to Bernahl, theyre in the same room when you first meet her there. Its also implied that shes in Liurnia specifically to scout out Lanyas location, considering shes assassinated shortly after. She must know what the manor is doing, and what her role in it is. Unless someone is constantly making her forget, but I doubt it, seeing as she consistently rembembers who we are. Id argue too since shes the only scout in the Manor, that shes the one engraving all the red summon signs we end up using. Shes clearly educated enough to read and write, and communicates with the manor using the same stationary that Tanith does when she gives us our summons. I wonder what it is that makes her so "unwanted" Why does she not know about the other serpents? The only other "Woe" talisman is Shabriris', who was a noble and a pretty heinous criminal. You also find it on what might be his original body. This is important because it establishes right from the beginning of the game how these talismans (maybe identifers of a crime committed amongst nobles) should be described. If her name was Daedica, why is it called DaedicaR's woe? It makes it sound like a "Daedicar" is something you can be, like an apostle or adherant, (like how Rykard was a justicar) This connection is kind of weird. What do Daedica and Shabriri have in common? Does it imply that Daedica was also a noble like Shabriri? Were they punished by the same authority? Rykard punished the shit out of people with extreme prejudice. It was literally his job, and you find the talisman in the depths of his dungeons, though kind of a random place. Was Rykard the one that gouged out Shabrirs' eyes? Was he the one who punished Daedica by flaying her? What the fuck is going on?

    As far as Rya is concerned, it seems as though Tanith sheltered her as much as she possibly could. I doubt she was aware that she was sending the champions she found to their death. That was a secret known only to Tanith, her knight, and Patches. Patches only knew because he's Patches, it's in his nature to be "in the know," but even Berhnal doesn't seem to have been aware that Rykard was eating the other Recusant's. In her letter Rya even says she's going to continue the Volcano Manor's work. If she knew the true point of Volcano Manor was to feed Rykard and grow his power, she'd know there's no point in continuing if he's dead. It's likely she truly believes the Volcano Manor is about the Tarnished she scouted fighting back against the Golden Order.

    Was it confirmed that Zorayas was the only female man serpent? I don’t think that’s the case since she doesn’t look all too different from other man serpents in her snake form. The man serpents we fight could have male and female among them and we wouldn’t know. I don’t think Zorayas was particularly special I just think Tanith simply found her by chance and decided to raise her as her own. Perhaps because of her duty to her lord at the start but over time she grew to love her for what she was. A kind pure girl

The man serpents are quite cruel (sll the burned body's and cages/t.rture chamber) and another character says the most appalling battle took place on Mt Gelmir. I guess that was the serpent men and recruited tarnished vs Leyndell's soldiers protecting the erdtree?

    I don't think it's accurate to say Rya/Zorayas is the only female Man-Serpent we meet. They are reptiles, and it's often impossible to determine their sex without a close inspection. "Man" is often used as shorthand for "human," and does not always denote sex. She is just the only one where it is denoted clearly. But other than that, good video.

    We get into this in the comments but we believe it's part of the reason she's considered an abomination by the other serpent's. Fair assessment though!

    I hate myself so much when I messed up her questline... After Tanith gave me the potion, I really intended NOT to give it to Rya since I wanted her to travel the world... I reloaded the area by sitting at a Grace, ran back to her and talked to her. This is where my mistake happened... I already heard her dialogue, so I spammed skip on her lines and without noticing, I accidentally selected the option to give her the potion... I was so mad, after killing Rykard, I just straight up killed Tanith without a second thought

    Rya's existence means the man serpents can reproduce normally now, so from an expirament to create an army, they are now a species, as for Rya saying the serpents hate her, well did she confirm that or does she assume they do like she assumes her mother "shouldnt" accept her?

    A species, depends on the state and health of their 'female' population. Since Rya is the only female serpent. She is the only one of their kind to be able to continue to breed the (next generation) so-to-speak. Its an interesting ethical dillema.

    They're called "Man-Serpents" which implies male gendering in our opinion because Rya is clearly female. She is seen as an unwanted child born of a hideous ritual so our assumption is that her female gendering, which can only be seen in her human form, would be what made her unwanted by the other Man-Serpents and Rykard. We think the ritual was intended to create a female man-serpent. If you subscribe to the idea that they are called "Man-Serpent's" to imply "Humanoid Serpent" then I can see where this connection may not hold up, but we think the name is more literal.

    I am getting all sorts of sociopathy red flags from Tannith. Instead of talking Rya out of her sadness, she intends to delete her memory. Rykard is supposed to be the love of her life, but when I tell her he's kicked the bucket, she doesn't start weeping, curse me, or swear to avenge him -- that is what normal people would do, but not her... You know what she went to do instead. Tannith is no motherly figure. She is a controlling, possessive sociopath.

    Daedicar is Tanith and Patches best not get involved with her. The ritual of the amnion is one of many blasphemies that Tanith has committed and gave birth to all the serpents. She was flayed for her blasphemies, by the golden order prolly. That’s why she wears that mask. It’s a stretch but she may be connected to Dominula, windmill village where the godskin apostle seems to be directing a cult there... where they flay the men possibly as vengeance for Taniths flaying. They also perform a ritual that turn flayed men into shambling bombs where you find the noble set. Also a stretch, but I suspect the depraved perfumers serve the serpents. Their symbol clearly depicts the erdtree enwreathed in serpents and their leaders ashes are found in volcano manor.

    @@square-table-gaming Familial love. They really do all love each other in the volcano manor. That’s why Rya is not slain and was instead in-prisoned so that she may be given the tonic of forgetfulness. Rykard offers Tanith the same tonic if the truth bothers her so much. She is called adoptive because her origin is of blasphemy and she was raised sheltered instead of being told the truth. The only way Tanith can be Rya’s mother is through blasphemy and so she is called adoptive daughter. Being claimed as a true daughter may also have political implications; she will never lead the manor and exists solely to serve rykards designs. She is not a princess or free though she is loved.

    I thought the one with the whip were female like Ria .Are they not ? And what about the one that cast he/she is not fully hatch yet so their more snake hatching even if Ria mother is dead or is she ...Me think Tanith is really her mom and she shielding Ria from Rykard even if she love him very much . she just has bad then the other women when is come to Rykard "big snake" and since others snake are still hatching then who who else is getting the "snake" 🍆!? .What about the apostle they obviously take human form like Ria instead of been fully snake and what about all these dancing women that seem to like the apostle you can see them pray at Atlus plateau . wont be surprising if those women hook up with them making more snake for volcano Manor ! Is not like the Apostles which Are snake are not all over the map! The apostle don't look stupid either they feel human enough and are very religious they look like they could speak at any moment! Me think noble higher rank snake can look human somehow or they all can but choose to look like snake to scare of intruders since most of them are not higher rank that represent their order but soldiers !? Edit i forgot to mention that Ria is maybe unwanted because she a Runt ! Not because she female!
